Abstract

In So Great a Light, So Great a Smoke, Louisa A. Burnham takes us inside the world of a little-known heretical group in the south of France in the early fourteenth century. The Beguins were a small sect of priests and lay people allied to (and sharing many of the convictions of) the Spiritual Franciscans. They stressed poverty in their pursuit of a Franciscan evangelical ideal and believed themselves to be living in the Last Days. By the late thirteenth century, the leaders of the order and the popes themselves had begun to discipline the Spirituals, and by 1317 they had been deemed a heresy. The Beguins refused to accept this situation and began to evade and confront the inquisitorial machine. Burnham follows the lives of nine Beguins as they conceal themselves in cities, construct an "underground railroad," solicit clandestine donations in order to bribe inquisitors, escape from prison, and venerate the burned bones of their martyred fellows as the relics of saints. Their actions brought the Beguins the apocalypse they had long imagined, as the Church's inquisitors pursued them along with the Spirituals and began to arrest them and burn them at the stake. Reconstructing this dramatic history using inquisitorial depositions, notarial records, and the previously unknown Beguin martyrology, Burnham vividly recreates the world in which the Beguins lived and died for their beliefs.

Abstract

"Een groepje geëngageerde katholieke vrouwen begon in 1919 een avontuur. Onder de naam 'Vrouwen van Bethanië' stelden zij zich ten doel mensen op het spoor van God te brengen. De grondlegger van hun beweging was Jacques van Ginneken, pater jezuïet. Gekleed in burger maar gebonden aan geloften vestigden zij zich in de grote steden waar de nood aan een bevrijdende en menslievende God volgens hen het hoogst was. De Vrouwen van Bethanië raakten vertrouwd met jong en oud, arm en rijk, laag- en hoogopgeleiden van alle stromingen en gezindten. Niet alleen in Nederland, ook in Oostenrijk, Rome, de Verenigde Staten en Spanje hebben zij geloofsbegeleiding gegeven en mensen geestelijk en sociaalmaatschappelijk bijgestaan, overtuigd van een heilige ruimte in ieder mens. Naast hun collectieve geschiedenis en spiritualiteit zijn er de minstens zo bijzondere persoonlijke verhalen van de vrouwen. Het zijn krachtige getuigenissen van hoop en vertrouwen, van doorleefde spiritualiteit die inspireert en motiveert." --

Abstract

In this exploration of crisis in Counter-Reformation Spain, Mary Elizabeth Perry reveals the significance of gender for social order by portraying the lives of women who lived on the margins of respectability--prostitutes, healers, visionaries, and other deviants who provoked the concern of a growing central government linked closely to the church. Focusing on Seville, the commercial capital of Habsburg Spain, Perry uses rich archival sources to document the economic and spiritual activity of women, and efforts made by civil and church authorities to control this activity, during a period of local economic change and religious turmoil. In analyzing such sources as art and literature from the period, women's writings, Inquisition records, and laws and regulations, Perry finds that social definitions of what it meant to be a woman or a man persisted due to their sanctification by religious ideas and their adaptation into political order. She describes the tension between gender ideals and actual conditions in women's lives, and shows how some women subverted the gender order by using a surprisingly wide variety of intellectual and physical strategies.
